Nellie was purchased by TEC from Kris Petlick. She came to TEC as an experienced trail horse. She is very well trained and a sensitive mare. Her size makes her ideal for our adult riders; especially, advanced beginners or intermediate riders. She is also good for experienced riders wanting to refine their skills. Her quiet and reliable nature makes her a good therapeutic riding horse and one who enjoys being led around the arena by riders of all levels.
